Every Academy Award season, I spend 85 percent of my time doing the eyeball version of Kegels, AKA squinting my eyes while crying and I'm pretending I just won an Oscar. The other 15 percent is devoted to discussing the nominated films and actors with my parents. That is, unless they disagree with me and in that case, I get so quiet that they ask me if I'm listening to them and I'm like, "No, sorry, The point is that from the day the nominations are announced until the night the Academy Awards airs, which, thankfully, is this Sunday, the Oscars are the only thing I care about. If you're not like me, congrats, you have a life. Don't start patting yourself on that back just yet. Chances are that you'll be attending a watch party, and if you haven't gotten a chance to see all the nominated movies yet, you might be stressed out like you're in line at the post office on April 15th and you've only got 15 minutes left to mail out your taxes. But don't fret! I've watched all the Best Picture noms, and I'm here to break them down for you, reveal which one read more

Don't have time to see all the Best Picture Oscar nominations? That's fine. These munchkins do a bang-up job. (But really, can we just give them all the awards? They're so freakin' cute!)

We all know that Kerry Washington is drop dead gorgeous and could literally wear a Mugatu trash bag dress and still look smokin' hot, but how do we feel about this look? Beth in the beauty department already highlighted her gorgeous grey eyeshadow, but I can't get over her frock! This crazy busy dress is actually look 7 from Peter Pilotto's spring 2013 collection. And while on pretty much anyone else in the world, I'd say it's too much, I think she pulls it off! I love her sleek hair, and fairly minimalist makeup, but I'm honestly not so hot on the shoes. I'm just not sure about throwing ANOTHER print in to the mix. Personally, I would have gone with these, but that's just me! What do you guys think? Does she pull it off or is it just too wild?
